Chapter 141: Convince People with Reason (Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the monthly ticket)
On this day, a large number of scholars in Beihai County were talking about Xiong Yan, the Xiazi. However, some people thought that he was a rare great sage in the world, comparable to Confucian predecessors like Zheng Xuan. Some people thought that Xiong Yan was a Dharma master.
Seniors from the family or military, some people think that Xiong Yan is a big rebel!
But Xia Zi, who was cherished by many scholars, was currently in the study, writing something continuously.
It has been fifteen days since he arrived in Wangjia Town, Gaochang County, Beihai County. In these fifteen days, Lao Wang has conquered several nearby towns with 5,000 new troops and simple copper grenades.
The process is very simple, just take the army and gunpowder to the nearby Haoqiang Wubao, say hello to them, and perform a directional blasting in front of them!
When blasting, Lao Wang personally calculated and designed based on the terrain of the site, and finally determined the amount of ammunition, and then blasted it all at once.
When the powerful people in Wubao in other villages and towns discovered that Wubao's city walls could no longer provide any sense of security, they were convinced by Lao Wang's reasoning!
This is called convincing people with reason!
Regarding Lao Wang's behavior, Xiong Yan commented this way: "I can kill you directly, but I choose to reason with you nicely instead of directly killing your whole family. What is this? This is benevolence!"
"
Xiong Yan's comments were spread far and wide. Although many scholars felt that something was wrong, they did not find out what was wrong for a while.
This is the result of Confucianism being too free and too idealistic.
What is benevolence?
Confucius had his own explanation, and Confucius' disciples also had their own opinions. Therefore, after Confucius' death, Confucianism was divided into eight.
Later Mencius also had his own views!
After Mencius, Xunzi, who was often expelled from Confucianism, also had a different view!
It would even be an exaggeration to say that every scholar, every qualified Confucian scholar, should have his or her own personal views on benevolence.
This is called the meaning and influence of the idea of 'benevolence' on individuals in the new era.
How can this be exactly the same?
If they are exactly the same, they were pasted and copied!
Anyway, after Xiong Yan's words spread, the local tycoons in several other towns and villages all extended their thumbs up and praised Wang Xianwei as a Confucian general who understood the profound meaning of benevolence.
Obviously, they were all convinced by Lao Wang’s reasoning!
All I can say is that I am very reasonable, please bear with me!
Xiong Yan has been busy reading the authentic books he has collected these days. The so-called authentic books refer to books written by the great Confucian or with annotations by the great Confucian.
After Xiong Yan reads these books and activates his talent, he will automatically gain insights from these great scholars, especially regarding cultivation.
Each book contains part of the psychological changes of a great scholar. Every time Xiong Yan activates his talent, he experiences it personally.
After experiencing it so many times in one breath, Xiong Yan only felt a headache and tired!
But I have to continue working even though I have a headache!
In the past seven days, everyone has been working overtime and working hard. Although Xiong Yan didn't say anything, he noticed it. Many of the results that have been produced are not just a slap in the face, but also a result of hard work and practice.
Xiong Yan closed his eyes, leaned on the seat and rested for a while, then picked up a pot of warm rice wine and left the very warm room heated by the charcoal fire. After opening the curtain, the cold wind hit his face, and Xiong Yan suddenly became energetic.
Much more.
At this moment, Xiong Yan felt like a spirited young man!
In the middle of winter, if you don't stay in a warm room but come out to blow cold wind, why do you think there is something wrong?
Patting the rice wine on his waist, Xiong Yan looked at the heavy snow in the sky and left step by step. After a while, he arrived at Lin Er's residence.
When Xiong Yan came in, Lin Er was still reading and studying the collected Confucian cultivation methods: "Dean, I have studied these classics in the past few days and found that the Confucian methods in this world are a little distorted."
"How to say it?"
With that said, Xiong Yan brought a small stool for himself, sat opposite Lin Er, and took out two large bowls.
"Under normal circumstances, the way to refine the spirit should be to purify the spiritual power, sublimate the spiritual power, and finally the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, so that the spiritual power can be sublimated into the soul. The soul can still continue to exist after the death of the physical body, and can even survive under special circumstances.
Under the circumstances, it can transform into a ghost and continue to survive in the form of a ghost for hundreds of years."
"Ghosts themselves also have a path of cultivation. The path of ghosts and immortals is also one of the five immortal avenues of heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts. Theoretically speaking, the highest achievement of pure yang is not as good as the path of refining the void and joining the path of immortals, but it is not much different.
"
"And the cultivation method in this world seems to be influenced by the way of Qi and Blood. The path is a little crooked and not pure enough."
Xiong Yan picked up a bowl of rice wine and motioned to Lin Er to drink it together. He drank a big mouthful of rice wine and felt full, just like drinking water, but sweet.
"Actually, it's not that they don't want to, but that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can't do it."
If they have enough spiritual energy, then of course these god-refining scholars can transform into fort mages, and they can control the wind, rain, and thunder with just a thought. Isn't that cool?
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is insufficient, and the Tao method that relies on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at every turn has limited power and is very easily affected by the environment.
Over time, when the scholars of the Han Dynasty developed magic, they stopped developing it in the direction of destructive power.
Having said this, Xiong Yan took out a bound spell book from his arms: "This contains some spells with the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms, which can be called strategist skills."
There are always more solutions than difficulties. Anyway, after reading the experiences of Zheng Xuan and other great Confucian scholars, Xiong Yan felt that he had learned a lot.
Although they did not have much spiritual energy, the great scholars and counselors still showed their spiritual power. Many of these military skills were very inspiring and valuable to develop even if they were put into reality.
And Lin Er's talent is the strongest in the way of refining gods.
Therefore, Xiong Yan came to find him first.
If a spell cannot even be understood by Lin Er, then the spell is not suitable for use at the moment.
"As we all know, human beings have thousands of thoughts. The unity of several thoughts is called concentration and concentration. The unity of dozens of thoughts is called a flash of inspiration. The unity of hundreds of thoughts is called enlightenment. The unity of thousands of thoughts is called enlightenment.
It’s called the unity of heaven and man.”
"When heaven and man are united, spiritual power can be born."
"The mental power is external, it can connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cast spells. The mental power is internal, it can adjust thoughts and make reasonable use of thousands of personal thoughts."
"A magic technique essentially has two components, one is the external model, and the other is the internal distribution and combination of thoughts."
"External models can be deduced using computers, supercomputing, artificial intelligence, or quantum computers. There is always one that can perfectly solve the external model. However, the combination of inner spiritual thoughts is also the top priority..."
